I use Gmail for my e-mail, and think it’s great – it does everything (almost) that I could possibly want – access from my Mail client at my home, the web, and my ‘phone. That’s not why I like the video above though – I think it’s just a brilliant demonstration of how creative people can be with a very simple premise.

Google asked people to send in clips for a collabarative video imagining how an e-mail can travel. The result is above. They’ve also mapped all the contributions on a map which you can see here.
